its an 06 sebring i going to look at your build next so dont quote me on this but i need to keep my back seat. its bad enough i dont have a trunk anymore. i get so much shit for that. some people just dont understand. theres room in the trunk and my ruff estmates. make it so i can put a 38 inch wide 34 inch deep 15 inch high. but there would be no room in the back for the port to get any air. my other problem with that is getting the box in the trunk. build a beast of a box, 16 high 32 wide and 28 deep. had a bitch of a time getting it in. (just for now that box is just for a min while i wait for my other 2 subs to get back) and wil be cut out of the trunk. if i take all the seats out and remove the windsheild i can slide it in from the front of the car (am willing to do that) but not willing to lose the back seat.

so today i was out looking for ring termals. not much was open today. but anyways i was asking the guy in the advance auto parts store for the ring termals. i told him what i was doing with rings that big.(1/0) explaned what i was doing, the big 3. his response was " thats just stupid theres no reason for wire that big" he then went on tell me that he was a "car stereo top award winner" so i ask what was his numbers told me his highest was 127. told me he was running 3 10's at 8 ohm. said he made the amp run at .25 ohms. said that made the amps blow fire out of them, and said "made the paper from the woofer go accross the room". now i am new to getting into the ohms and most the tecical stuff. but some of the stuff the guy was saying just sounded stupid. he recomend that i get a battire clamp and put a big ass bolt in the fender, and run a 8 gage wire for the power and ground. said that would be more then enough. thats when i left . is any of this even plossible? is there any truth to what he was saying to add when i ask him what class he won in his awnser was all around best clairty did get my ring teramls after 5 stores napa was my rescuer now my big 3 is done plus one battire(-) in the back to sturt bolt. if you could give your two cents please... on a few things speaker wire is 12 gage the right size for 400watts ? caps do i really need them? when i did the big 3 the wire going to the starter comes from the altnator? or is there a connect some where else? i took the alt wire off the alt., it did not go right to the battire it goes somewhere else. i guess the starter. then to the battire (i cant get to the starter pain in the ass) so i just connect the wire at the other end by the battire, to the battire. what should i do with the wire that was going to my altnator?
